    Get a map of Arizona and look for the middle…read more Go couple clicks to your right and a small town east of Payson called Forest Lakes Estates exists. I believe this is the highest elevated town in Arizona and it frigging snows here. Who would think 1-2 hours from Phoenix and snow in October? I mean, just one hour north of Hwy 17 is snow, but in October? It didn't just snow, i got stuck in a damn blizzard. The only time I remember a more fearful snow moment was 17 years ago at Mt. Ranier where we got hit by heavy powder at baseline and forfeited our trekking adventure. The difference is I was healthy and young. Now im sick and old. Anyhow, I pulled over to the first moment i saw lights. Traveling at 5-10mph, it felt like five hours have gone by. Cars started piling up here and finally a nice gent from Tejas opened up for us. I got a warm room, a nice hot shower and limited wifi for $70-75. The night's rest was comforting considering I pre-planned roughing it. someplace between Petrfied and Gallup, NM The lodge itself was ok. The exterior is prettier than the interior. They provided hot warer, coffee, and sugar snacks in the morning. Nothing else was open for breakfast so the sugar helped until I reached civilization to eat real food. The bed was comfy enough for me to sleep past 7-8am. Clean enough to walk around barefoot. And the tv works. The first time i had to shovel off snow and a bit of the driveway to leave. Thank you forest lakes lodge for leaving the light on.

    Read this before you book this hotel. There is no air conditioner in the room. The 2nd floor…read moresqueaks as you walk. I felt sorry for guests below us but we could not be trapped on our bed.

    My husband surprised me with this cabin for our Anniversary! This was definitely a 10/10! Super…read morequiet, had all the necessities of BBQing and cooking! So close to a couple lakes and an overall perfect location! We came from 97 degrees to the 60s! My ONLY complaints were the shower head () it was awful! And the satellite didn't work very well so no TV which was fine but for families with kids might be an issue. But overall definite recommendation!

    The area is truly beautiful. And there is direct access to the forest. Next to this site is a…read moregated community so you do hear some minimal noise. The cabin was nice although I do think there should be an investment in updating. None of our glasses matched and most were plastic tumbler type. Our cabin was for 4 and yes, there were 4 folks, 4 spoons and 4 knives only. A maybe 2 inch circular soap is what was available for both hand washing and bathing. Seems one of the sleeping areas is the living room on a sofabed. The parking area and area around the cabins is very well lit at night - some may have suitable curtains, ours did not but was not as issue for us. There was no information on the cabin, the area, the rules, etc in our cabin which would have been helpful - there also didn't appear to be any onsite assistance anywhere. This is also a dog friendly place although you have to keep them on leash at all time. There is no enclosed area. The biggest negative for me/family was the unevenness of the walkways around the cabin. There a number of dips in the roadway and parking area and it is a steep incline. The kids play area is on a hill and the paved portion is so steep you gain way too much speed walking straight down - gotta zig zag. We both agreed if you had walking difficulties or had a walker, it was going to be challenging to get around. If you are planning a trip, be sure the check the local establishments times. We did not and all in the immediate area were closed Monday-Wednesday - this may just be the time of year though don't know. Be sure to pack what you want/need - although only 20 miles or so to Payson, its a long 20 miles.
